Working my way back to SB... this time with babysteps. Making a plan for menus and exercise and getting my head in place to begin June 1

I will also be babystepping with FLYlady to organize my home.

My exercise plan is to follow a 12 week walking plan - starting with 15-20 minutes, five times a week for week 1 and each week add 5 minutes. The idea will be consistency.... I'm not good with that.

Eating will be P2 - starting with one grain and one fruit each day for week 1.

FLYlady routine will be 30 day basic.

A few quotes for inspiration by Maya Angelou:

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Tueday morning ... two days till JUNE 1 restart.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Took these words to heart today: If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
I don't enjoy my job. Usually first day back after a weekend - I am a bear. My attitude stinks... on the ride to work today I decided I could change my attitude and have a good day! IT WORKED! I have managed a smile. Taking the time last night to plan my menu for today and tomorrow, make sure I had an outfit ironed and set out to wear - and a plan for my water drinking sure helped.

Didn't sleep well last night - so HOT and humid not typical for this time of year. Would have been a good enough reason in the past for me to just lay in bed and whine.... attitude is EVERYTHING!

Breakfast today was V8, 1 deviled egg and 6 oz. skim milk
AM Snack - 10 baby raw carrots, small granny smith apple and 2 TBSP PB
Lunch - edamame 1/3 cup, lettuce/carrots/one scoop cottage cheese / one spoon barley salad and orzo salad / 6 black olives / 2 oz. seafood salad - all from A&P salad bar

Posted this in the over 50 thread, but want it here to review when necessary!

.......it is about recognizing the thoughts behind self-defeating behavior that go on right under our noses. One of Webster's definitions for "decide" is to make a choice or judgment. DECIDE implies previous consideration of a matter causing doubt, wavering, debate, or controversy. We all have discussions with ourselves, it's just that most of us do not realize those discussions can result in a rather immature decision or choice to act in some way that is harmful to our well being. When we can recognize the self-defeating "voice" which is really a thought, we can do something about it before it becomes an action.

Almost time to go home from work - felt headachy and weird most of the morning - not sure it was food related... but do feel better since lunch.

My menu will be updated on original post after meals are eaten.

Still HOT and HUMID in NJ... no walking outside today.

you know i remember fly lady when she was just a yahoo group... and she herself was totally accessable and was nothing but words....
